Not a fartypants, smoking is a crap habit. I smoke a few roll ups a day.
  I know i should'nt, but through previous bad habits i've given everything else up. I do'nt go pubbing/clubbing, go on holiday, or have a family life any more because i do'nt want too. A smoke & a voddy & coke are my only remaining vices.
    No coronary history in my family. I suffer no day to day stress (despite ranting on here) & am very contended with nothing to worry about. Stress is a big killer.

[size=16]FFS.  Dont think about it.  DO IT

My Mum  1934 to 2000 Died of Bone Cancer.

Do you want your kids to grow up with shorter memories of thier love for you.

Your Health improves,
you get your taste buds back
and more than anything you save money that be be spent on better things.



Shall I go on? [/size]

You & me both mate. I'm honestly not having a pop (if i was i'd be open about it) at family people neither am i a female hater (far from it) but @ a young 45, a father of a 22 yr old son & a few past relationships, i'm happy on my tod now. Despite enjoying family life in the past i feel i'm lacking in that certain something that needs someone, i just don't. Increasingly more people of both sexes are opting to go it alone nowadays. :)
